Once again I am here "catching up," I guess the question is how many times can I start a post with "so long, no blog" or something similar. Anyways, hopefully I am back here for more frequent blogging but given my track record I make no promises!

My life has been heading all sorts of directions lately, and unfortunately many of those directions have led me away from God. Yes I still believe life is a journey. Yes the goals I have set for my Journey are still important. But I was ignoring them for awhile, and even now my approach to them is a bit different. I am back to praying regularly, but I can't say the same for regular Church attendance. I cannot say I have been doing much to model Christ-like living for others so I suppose both goals 1 and 2 need some major work. Goal 3, being able to see Christ in others and treat them accordingly, is almost second-nature to me though I suppose lately I have been treating people well more from a humanistic approach than a truly Christ-centered one. Goals 4 and 5 are both much less religious in nature, and I suppose I can say I have been doing very well at 4, making a positive difference in the lives of others, and not quite as well on 5, which is to work everyday at being the best version of myself. I definitely want to be the best me possible, but lately there has been a lot of room for more work! So friends, whether I continue with more frequent blogging or not, I would love to be in your prayers!

As you may have seen in the pages I am now working on a Total Money Makeover to help me with the big goal of becoming debt free! This is a major focus of my journey right now, one I am very excited about and plan to blog more about! The other big change in my journey is that I am preparing to move into my own apartment. After living back home with my folks for almost five years after college/graduate school I am excited to leave the nest again. That means you can also expect some fun posts about setting up house and all things domestic. While I did live in the dorms and an apartment in college, and in a rental house with roommates during my graduate program this is my first time really being "out on my own" and I am both excited and nervous about the prospect! Pretty grateful to all the family members offering me extra dishes, lamps, tag sale items etc. to help me move on a budget.

I am curious if any other bloggers/readers are working on or have completed a TMMO of their own? Did you make any big changes like a move or have a big change in expenses during your Makeover? Do you have any tips to share! ﻿
